Such applications expose the composite cylinders to harsh temperature and handling conditions. At least in Europe, standards have been used for certifying PPE, which are designed and mandatory for the approval of pressure receptacles for the transport of dangerous goods. Therefore, service conditions specific to PPEs are not accounted for in these standards. In this paper, BAM (Federal Institute for Materials Research and Testing) investigates the residual safety of a composite cylinder design at the end of their designated service life of 15 years. The cylinders (test pressure PH 450 bars; 6.8 Litres) are of one design type with aluminium liner and fully wrapped with carbon fibres, which is commonly considered a “Type III” cylinder. All cylinders were used as PPE by the Berlin fire department and randomly picked in three samples of 25 cylinders each before tested. At BAM, the cylinder samples underwent hydraulic load cycle tests (LCT), conventional burst tests (BT) and so called slow burst tests (SBT). A concept for quantification of strength degradation already introduced by BAM was applied. This concept is based on a probabilistic assessment of the average strength and scatter of each sample of cylinders. The strength distributions of the used PPEcylinders is shown and analysed. Some unexpected effects are shown and a refinement of the statistical assessment is introduced.

T1 - High-pressure gas solubility in mixtures with one compound being an „alternative“ solvent N2 - The term „Alternative Solvents“ often refers to ionic liquids (ILs), mainly to distinguish these substances from traditional (i.e., molecular) solvents. In applications, any „alternative“ is required to perform better than something that is proven and tested. To bring ILs into practical use, availability and costs are the fundamental points to be addressed. There are two ways to proceed: ▬ tailoring a molecule, implanting the expected characteristics advantage: optimization of the targeted performance possible risks: outcome not always foreseeable, costly and time-intensive (“trial and error“) ▬ to target on mixtures of well-characterized ILs with molecular solvents advantage: substance characteristics are known, less costly, less time-consuming, mixture composition another tunable parameter risks: the same but with less impact For the basic engineering of technical processes, knowledge of phase equilibria, particularly of mixtures, over a broad (p,T) range is mandatory.
